2 lbs lean ground turkey

1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup dried whole wheat bread crumbs
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoons garlic powder
Sauce
One 15 oz and one 28 oz can no-salt crushed tomatoes

1/2 medium onion, chopped
1-2 canned chipotle chilies, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoons dried oregano
8 whole wheat rolls, approximately 31/2 inch diameter
Recipe
Preparation Tip: To make life easier on the Big Game day make the sauce ahead and freeze.
Healthy Food Tip: By rinsing the chipotle chilies you remove the salty adobo sauce, but still get the flavor of these smokey tasting chilies. Always look for low-salt or no salt-added condiments or sauces.
1. Heat olive oil in medium skillet over med to high heat and add chopped onion. Saute, stirring frequently, until light brow and beginning to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, parsley, eggs, egg white, pepper, oregano, basil and garlic power. Add cooked onions and mix all ingredients well.
2. With wet hands make 24 meat balls about one quarter cup each, place on a baking sheet and chill until sauce is ready.
3. In a large cooking pot combine tomatoes, garlic, onion and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 minutes. Finely chop one or two chipotle chilies (to taste) and add to the sauce. Simmer another 2 minutes. Remove meatballs from fridge and add one at a time to the sauce. Cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat, or until cooked through. Serve on whole wheat rolls.
